HANGER FOR WINDOW-SCREENS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 704,667, dated July 15, 1902.

Application filed October 30,1901. Serial No. 80,558. No model.)

To (AZ/Z whom it 77mg concern.-

Be it known that I, ARTHUR LORIN TABER, a citizen of the United States, residing at O0- rona, in the county of Riverside and State of California, have invented a new and useful Hanger for \Vindow-Screens, of which the following is a specification.

The invention relates to a hanger for windew-screens.

The object of the present invention is to provide a simple, inexpensive, and efficient device adapted to be readily appliedto a window-frame and a window-screen for enabling the latter to be hung from the former and to fit snugly within the same.

A further object of the invention is to provide a device of this character which will be capable of ready adjustment to permit it to fit properly within a window and which may be readily swungoutward to open the Window without liability of disengaging the screen from its support.

The invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, illustrated in the accompanying drawings, and pointed out in the claim hereto appended.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is an elevation of a window-screen provided with hangers constructed in accordance with this invention. Fig. 2 is a vertical sectional view ofthe same. Fig. 3 is a detail perspective view of the supporting-pintle. Fig. is a similar view of the leaf or plate.

Like numerals of reference designate corresponding parts in all the figures of the drawlugs.

l designates a pintle consisting of a horizontal shank and an upwardly-extending arm 2, arranged at the outer end of the shank and adapted to retain an eye 3 of a leaf or plate 4 on the same. The inner end of the shank of the pintle is tapered and threaded and is adapted to be readily screwed into a windowframe at the top thereof, as illustrated in Fig. 2 of the accompanying drawings. The arm is disposed vertically, and the pintle has a curved face 5 at the exterior of the angle formed by the arm of the shank to permit the leaf or plate to swing outward, as illustrated in dotted lines in Fig. 2 of the accompanying drawings. The leaf or plate, which is de signed to be applied to a screen 6, has its upper portion reduced and rounded to form the eye 3, which has a perforation or opening 7 to receive the pintle. The lower portion of the leaf or plate is perforated for the reception of screws or other suitable fastening devices for. securing the leaf or plate to the windowscreen. The eye is angularly bent to form the upwardly and outwardly inclined intermediate portion 8, which connects the lower body portion of the plate with the upper portion of the eye, whereby the upper portion of the eye is offset from the lower body portion to permit the screen to fit within thewindowframe. WVhen the screen is swung outward to open the window, it may be moved outin Fig. 2 without liability of accidentally disengaging it from the pintle, and the screen will have to be swung upward approximately to a horizontal position-to eifect such disengagement. The hangers are located at opposite sides of the window-screen at the top thereof, and they may also be applied to win- (low-sashes.

It will be seen that the hanger is exceedingly simple and inexpensive in construction, thatit is adapted to be readily applied to a screen and to a window, and that the threaded pintle may be readily rotated to permit the bent leaf or plate to extend inward sufficiently to arrange the screen'properly within a window.

;What I claim is A hanger comprising the longitudinally-adjustable threaded pintle provided with an upwardlyextendingarm and adapted to be screwed into andoutof a Window to adjust the hanger, and the leaf or plateprovided at the top with an eye receiving thepintle, said leaf or plate being bent at the lower portion of the eye to outwardlyoffset the'same from the body portion of the leaf or plate to enable a window-screen to fit within a window-frame and to prevent the leaf or plate from becoming accidentally disengaged from the pintle, substantially as and for the purpose described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my own I have hereto affixed my signature in the presence of two witnesses.

ARTHUR L. TABER.
